The basic recipe for tapping for children is very simple:

Take one emotion or feeling.
Link it to a certain person or instance.
Give it a name (like “cleaning up room”)
Score it: 0 is no intensity, 10 is maximum intensity.
Smaller kids can show it with their hands how intense they are.

Start tapping: Each point 7 times, while repeating the “reminder phrase”.
When a child doesn’t want to tap on himself, use a tapping bear to tap on, or tap on yourself.

The points are the following:

After one or two rounds check in about the intensity.

If you’re getting lower, you’re on your way.

If nothing happens, your child or you are probably “reversed”.

Happy tapping!
